Fishn24x7 Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 Does anyone have any detailed pictures of the engine already assembled and in the car? When I bought mine, everything was in disarray. The entire turbo piping has been "re-engineered" and the car wasn't fully put back together. Any insight or help would be greatly appreciated, as I have already started the rebuild process. It's gonna be a fun one.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fishn24x7 Posted June 15, 2021 Author Share Posted June 15, 2021 (edited) Thank you sir!! Also, can you reuse ARP head studs or no? I've heard someone say yes, you can reuse one time. My question lies in the torque to yield section.... there is no 1/4 turn or 90° or anything.... or am I missing something? Damn things are expensive....

Max Capacity Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 (edited) I would think no. Have you thought about checking out ARP's website, it may have some info, or call them. I think, I would not use them twice. Cheap insurance to just buy new and be sure. We have learned these turbo engines don't respond well to taking the cheap way out. Having said that, I do recall reusing them on the Honda race motor, but again, that is a different animal.

Don't cut corners and reuse those, get new one's. these cars are fun and great, but if you try to skim around important things, these car have a mind of their own and will hate you.

Fishn24x7 Posted June 15, 2021 Author Share Posted June 15, 2021 Well, I just got off the phone with ARP. Their head studs, as long as there is no corrosion or rust and if they haven't been over torqued, can be reused. They are NOT torque-to-yield.

dgoodhue Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 You can reuse them. You are actually suppose to retorque the arp heads studs after they heat cycled. ARP has a procedure that torques them down close to spec (I want to say it’s with 10 ft-lbs) so you don’t have to retorque them, which is PIA for the Subaru Boxer motor.
